    Sightseeing

    That's a nice description. CJ's proud of his heritage, but he's not fixated on Cuba or its politics the way many Miami Cubans are. Maybe the trip will intensify the connection. The visit to the beach was part of my effort to have him connect to the island on a personal level. If I write the longer installment set in Cuba, I'll have him, Owen, and Liebe visit Cienfuegos, on the island's southern coast, where the Abello's hail from.

    Dedication

    Me too! Me too! I started in high school when I got my driver's license with short trips to Key West or Orlando with friends. Since then, I've driven a lot of miles.

    We're Alive

    He'll have his moments. LOL
  4. Frank starts that performance by saying "the greatest city in the whole world." I'm pretty sure that's how Chipper feels too.

    Battle Round

    I'm not done with Bliss. LOL

    Camper Van

    Hmmmm... What has he done? He's acting like a horny 21yo in the entertainment business. Let's hope if he continues to indulge, it doesn't get out of control.

    Jam Session

    I've always said CJ and Chipper have similar personalities. Of course Chipper gets to hang out with the Coachella performers. LOL
  8. Glad it's working for you. I took a lot of grief for writing the short chapters.

    Green Room

    Thanks, Albert. Although Chipper's the MC, this story might qualify as FanFic for The Voice. I watched a bunch of shows and tried to capture the personality and speech patterns of each judge and Carson
  10. Damien was a mistake Cristina will regret. Except for the fact he gave her a beautiful daughter.

    Open Call

    This story was written before I worked on CDMX. Some of the Chipper references in that story can be traced back to this one.

    Just so this comment. I hope you're feeling better, my friend.

    Day Drinking

    LOL I've used Carlos twice. Once, in Newport, for Secretary of the Navy Carlos del Toro because it's his name. The other Carlos is me. I wrote myself into the story as the ancient biker CJ and his dads meet while on a motorcycle ride and who becomes a family friend. At this point, my most recent appearance was in Key West.

    Prologue

    I'm glad you listened. Flying Circus takes place in 2027, and some of what's referenced in the story harks back to plenty of these spinoffs. When you get to Cadet, you'll revisit the Vail Christmas and Cancun spring break, but the story keeps going through May 2024. There are a lot of references to spinoff events in what you read already, but now I'll be able to show you instead of telling you.

    Day Drinking

    Did I tell you about this character who's a total ass, gets beaten up, and probably dies? Haven't written his story yeat, but one of the names I'm considering for him is Albert. Even if my middle name's Albert. LOL

    Sightseeing

    Not a lot of sightseeing in the next chapter, unless you include coral reefs and an old Russian-made gunboat. (No bullets involved.) LOL

    Sightseeing

    Glad you enjoyed this one! I agree with you, CJ and Camilo will wind up interacting in the future. If Camilo's about 10 years older than CJ, that means he'll be around for a long time.

    Sightseeing

    If I'm going to write gay characters, I'm most likely going to write them hot. LOL I'll share a picture of Camilo next week. He won't fit everyone's taste, but he fits in with my guys. And for the upcoming flirting.

    Sightseeing

    You and @tabaqui seem to have anger issues you want CJ to fix with a fist or kick. LOL

    Sightseeing

    Since Cuba's not on most travelers' itineraries, I decided to include a bit more touristy stuff in this one.
  21. Carlos Hazday

    Sightseeing

    Even when it ends, there'll be more. I'm moving the guys around and I have 2 DC-based stories and 2 travel stories left for the summer of 2022.

    Sightseeing

    @Hellsheild You fucking crack me up! I keep trying to put CJ and Owen in varied situations. In Capitol Hill it was mostly family drama, in this one we're back to a little international intrigue. BTW, that referendum I mentioned did pass last year. Same-sex marriages are legal in Cuba.
  23. Carlos Hazday

    Sightseeing

    You have no idea how consequential! LOL I see CJ and Camilo as friendly adversaries; they may not always agree, but they'll respect each other. Sort of the way our politicians used to act.
  24. Carlos Hazday

    Sightseeing

    You and a couple of others just want to see CJ kick someone's ass. LOL But he's turned a new leaf and fights his battles with words these days. It's Owen you should be scared of.
  25. Carlos Hazday

    Sightseeing

    You'll find a lot of the places I mention in Google Maps. I had an idea of a couple of places I wanted to include (ie El Morro) but relied on the Internet a lot. Some things were included (the Cuban Friendship Urn) for the sake of nostalgia.
